Participate in the #NFB20 Give $20 Campaign

Every year we gather to share in fun and fellowship at our National Convention. As you know, we will be holding our convention virtually this year and are asking for your continued generosity. Typically, throughout the convention, we pass a bucket which allows our attendees to drop in their donation and contribute to one of our funds.

This year, we will pass the bucket in a different way, through our Give $20 Campaign. It is an easy way to support the National Federation of the Blind and we are now adding an incentive to donate.

Win a Trip

When individuals give $20 or more between May 15, 2020 and noon ET on July 18, 2020, they will be entered into the Kenneth Jernigan Convention Drawing. The prize includes round-trip transportation to the 2021 NFB National Convention, lodging, registration, two banquet tickets, and $1,000.00 cash. Each $20 donation is a chance to win. Your name will be placed in the drawing for each increment of $20 you give. Give $100.00 and you will be entered into the drawing five times.

Federationists and their friends can specify which fund they wish to support:

• Kenneth Jernigan Fund (KJ Fund) – The KJ Fund helps support first time convention attendees. The KJ Fund has been named for Dr. Kenneth Jernigan who planned our conventions for more than 40 years, making them what they are today.
• SUN Fund (Shares Unlimited in NFB) – The SUN Fund is considered our “rainy day fund.”
• White Cane Fund – This fund provides for much needed, unrestricted monies to the NFB.
• tenBroek Fund – The tenBroek Memorial Fund owns the property at 200 East Wells at Jernigan Place in Baltimore for the benefit of blind people.
